Scenario is this previously all was working until a domain I owne accidently expired.
Renewed Domain
Eventually google dns can resolve all my hostnames and the router is configured to use 8.8.8.8 as its primary dns server.
If I run nslookup on any of my hostnames on the router itself, it displays the correct result and confirms it used 8.8.8.8
If I run nslookup on my pc which is configured to use my router as its dns server it returns a "*** UnKnown can't find mail.mydomain.com: Server failed"
However if Irun nslookup on my pc for other domains they resolve.
If I run nslookup on my pc and force it to resolve my hostname via 8.8.8.8 it works.
So the router itself can resolve the hostname, my pc can resolve the hostname via google dns. My pc cannot resolve the hostname via my router. My pc can resolve other hostnames via my router.
I have flushed the dns cache on the pc multiple times as well as restarting dnsmasq on the router.
Any ideas aside from extreme's such as rebooting the router?
Does the router have some kind of negative cache it uses outside of dnsmasq?
